Thanks! Most of it has come from the old house, just those chairs in the room with the whiskey are a new addition. I thought I would want nearly all…

Hi Margin, thanks! The stone is Caesarstone Symphony Grey. It’s really lovely, bit of marble veining and little glitter flecks. The digital colour swatch of it on the Caesarstone website…

Loving the flooring, gets a lot of attention from visitors too. People always come in and say they love the wood floors. I do love the big plank size too.

I’m also jealous of your herringbone installation. We’re still not happy with the quality of finish on ours. They’ve done a great job on yours!

Thank you! We are loving it! We got all our flooring from a Carpet court retailer - the downstairs vinyl planks are Karndean Longboards. Not the cheapest vinyl planks buuuut…

Yep! Having the floors in makes such a difference. Removalists are booked for next week. Yay!

Thanks! No our staircase is just standard. We would have liked to upgrade but stair upgrades were pretty costly and not high enough on the priority list for us.
